Appear.in

Appear.in is videoconferencing at its best! Use it to share your webcam, microphone, and screen with up to 8 people. It's easy and visually pleasing. There is no Flash, no plug-in, and no sign up. Simply visit appear.in, enter a room name, and share the link with others to get started. There is even an app version for iPhones and iPads.

Crash Course

Crash Course is a YouTube channel created by John Green (famous author loved by kids everywhere...remember The Fault in our Stars?) and his brother, Hank Green, who are now partnering with PBS. Visit the channel for Crash Courses, 10-15 videos, covering topics in history, chemistry, English literature, biology, and more.

You need these apps for the most amazing spring break ever!

Heads Up!

I love this app! Whether you are staying home or hitting the road, Heads Up! provides tons of laughs and fun. Put your phone on your forehead while your teammates try and clue you in about what's on the screen. Play it like Charades or Catch Phrase.

TripIt

If you are traveling on spring break, don't waste your time searching for and managing your hotel reservations, flights, or rental car. Just forward your travel confirmation emails to TripIt to automatically create an itinerary complete with directions, maps, and weather. Less time tracking reservations equals more time for fun!

Google Translate

Traveling out of the country and struggling with the language? Google Translate helps translate 80 languages, and you don't even need to be online to do it. Type or speak a phrase that you need translated, and the app will say the translated words back to you. You can even snap a photo of text you want translated.
